I honestly thought I was done with politics. Watching us commit genocide in Iraq despite the protests across the entire country, and then watching the Lib Dems spinelessly capitulate to the rapacious, craven Tory lizards once they got their little sniff of power just sickened me. Right, I thought, I am done with this shit, it is just a gigantic waste of everyone's time. However, the Tories haven't just been shit, they've been a repellent disgrace, governing with a sort of vindictive, cackling glee generally reserved for people in plastic armour in the Star Wars movies.

While the Hookworms prepare to release new material on April 21st, we wanted to visit another track from their brilliant four cut self titled Ep. The hypnotic 'I Got Some Business Out West' (below) is full of swirly guitars and screams psychedelia. These dudes are fulfilling all our rock needs at the moment and won't be surprised at all if they become an even bigger outlet before the year is out. Hookworms - I Got Some Business Out West
I noticed the name Hookworms in the singles review of this month's Uncut magazine and the references to Spectrum and Wooden Shjips as well as a ringing endorsement from Sun Araw's Cameron Stallones made it a definite to investigate further. So, one download from eMusic later and we're swaying along to the stoned grooves and blissed out hypnotics that this Leeds five piece provide so excellently on their self-titled EP. Take a listen to I Have Some Business Out West from the EP, and treat yourself [...]
11.David Thomas Broughton - Ain't Got No Sole The first song we heard from DTB's fantastic album, and perhaps the poppiest of the lot. Catchy, unusual and immensely hummable. 12.Kurt Vile - Baby's Arms Another album from which it is tricky to extricate just one song as a highlight, but for some reason I'm giving this the nod above Jesus Fever or Puppet to the Man . I think it's the most late night and glass of red winey song on the album, but it's close. 13.The [...]

The baubles in question would be twofold: Firstly, the Song, by Toad readers are awarding their own baubles for the year's musical endeavours, both in terms of anointing their song and their album of the year. And secondly, the very second I post this I am heading up into town to Kid Canaveral's Christmas Baubles, their second of what I assume will become an annual Christmas knees-up, this time hosted at Edinburgh's rather amazing Summerhall. This week on Song, by Toad I will be publishing my own top twenty albums of the year, and [...]

We nearly missed our anniversary again this year, but fortunately caught the fucker just in time. We were heading off to Leith to get some scran and I was sitting at the bus stop thinking about how it was nearly August and then asked one of those stupid questions you ask when something is really obvious, but actually so obvious you become unsure of it: "It's July, right?" "Yes, of course it is." "That means it must be nearly..." (hastily fishes in pocket for phone) "Fuck! It's our anniversary. Today! " [...]
I posted a track from Gross Magic yesterday and in researching them I was lucky enough to stumble across the Tumblr page for the amazing UK record label The Sounds of Sweet Nothing and have been dumbfoundedly blinking my eyes over their suggested listens all morning. Take Hookworms, a little outfit from a place called [...]
